Sense Touchbase pears in Birmingham Commissioned Performance (2024)
In October 2024, for Black History Month, Vehdance & Movement created a commissioned performance for Sense, exploring themes of agriculture and farming through movement. The piece was danced by Dearda Denny, with live, original music composed by Marcus Francisco.
The performance was developed through two sensory, touch-based paired workshops in Bradford and Birmingham, where participants engaged with props to spark imagination, connection, and creativity.
